European rights activists held a conference in Berlin on Monday to discuss the violations of the Rohingya minority in Arakan by Myanmar army.
The conference was attended by Myanmar activist Mr. Maung Zarni, head of the BROUK Mr. Tun Khin, head of the ERC Dr. Hla Kyaw, Rohingya rights activist and lawyer Sultana Radia, Rohingya activist Dr. Azim Ibrahim, Rohingya journalist Nay San Lwin, Bangladeshi University professor Chaudhry Abrar and others.
The participants expressed deep concern at the horrendous crimes that continue to unfold in Myanmar, with signs of genocide against the Rohingya people, including the widely undeniable ethnic cleansing with the destruction of hundreds of Rohingya villages, where the Government is sweeping the villages, The abandoned Rohingya houses are burned, and the Rohingyas who remain inside the country are threatened.
The participants thanked the Bangladeshi people and government for their exemplary work of mercy and humanity in opening their borders to the stricken Rohingya who fled the killing in Arakan, Myanmar.Participants called on Governments and humanitarian non-governmental organizations to significantly increase the volume of humanitarian assistance to Rohingya in the refugee camps of Cox-Bazar in order to reduce the burden on the Government of Bangladesh and enable United Nations agencies to carry out humanitarian responsibilities.
Participants stressed that the safe return of Rohingya refugees – estimated at one million people – is the only viable long-term solution.
The participants were also disappointed that the Security Council had not been successful in taking a common position after two public meetings and had failed to recognize crimes against humanity and even genocide and was unable to make a single non-binding judgment on the worsening humanitarian crisis in Myanmar.
Participants invited the Governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden and Canada, as well as other Governments such as Turkey and the regional associations, to convene a special conference to explore durable solutions so that the Rohingya people could return to their homes and what they considered their homeland.
